No, he wasn't. He was Macedonian.
Papadopoulos has completely lost it!

If Macedonians were not Greeks, why did they paticipate in the ancient olympics?? Only Greeks participated in these games. No Armenians, no Illyrians, no Thracians or Scythians, even though these groups were influenced and had great relationships with the ancient Greeks.

TALAT: PAPADOPULOS IS DISTROTING HISTORICAL FACTS AND REALITIES OF CYPRUS:
President Mehmet Ali Talat has said the latest proposals put forward by the Turkish Cypriot Side could pave the way not only for the implementation of the 8 July process, but also for the comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem in the shortest possible time.
The President has sent a letter to the United Nations Secretary General in response to the statement of the Greek Cypriot Leader Tassos Papadopulos at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The President complained that in his speech, Mr Papadoulos has once again distorted the historical facts and the realities of the island.
In his letter, the President pointed out that the Cyprus issue is a political problem between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots and not a problem of “invasion” and “occupation” as the Greek Cypriot leader likes to portray.
President Talat drew attention to the fact that each consecutive year, the statements of the Greek Cypriot leader before the UN General Assembly had become more and more distant from the realities of the Cyprus problem as well as the international efforts towards a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus.
Referring to Mr Papadopulos’ words that `efforts to solve the Cyprus problem have not been filtered through a system of values and norms of international law, he said this is a clear attempt to do away with the well-established UN parameters and the body of work for the settlement of the Cyprus problem that came into being in forty years of negotiations under the auspices of the successive Secretaries-General of the UN.
Touching up the international isolation, Talat said it is high time for the international community, particularly the UN and the EU, to act on its decisions and promises and lift the isolations of the Turkish Cypriot people without further delay.
On the 8-July process, the President pointed out that the Greek Cypriot leader - who claims that he is committed to the implementation of the process- had rejected all Turkish Cypriot proposal aimed at forwarding the process.
In his letter, the President also provided information to the UN Chief about the proposals brought to the table by the Turkish Cypriot Side during the leaders’ meeting last September and said that the proposals can pave the way not only for the implementation of the 8 July process, but also for the comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem in the shortest possible time.
